Who should be the Bengals select in the 1st Round?

[augustisback003]

Whom should be the Bengals selection with the 24th overall if they're available?

1. Calvin Pryor S 6'2" 208 Louisville

2. Kony Ealy DE 6'4⅝" 275 Missouri

3. Cyrus Kouandjio OT 6'5" 310 Alabama

4. Loucheiz Purifoy CB 6'0" 185 Florida

5. Jason Verrett CB 5'9⅜" 174 TCU

I think we need to go corner..... Unless a can't miss tackle or DE falls further than they should. I'm not sure if the OT or DE you mention fit that definition.

Carlos Hyde. Boo-yah.

Last year this post would have been 10 pages long and Tubbs would have called 20 people idiots by now.

Darqueze Dennard

Darqueze Dennard

Only saw him play once. Looked awesome. But he was playing against that Miller bum from OSU, so it was hard for me to judge.

Darqueze Dennard

Neither Justin Gilbert or Darqueze Dennard, the two best CB's in the Draft, won't make it to the 24th pick as both Detroit and Philadelphia both need CB's.

All of this will be moot with players' stocks fluctuating after the combine next week. but as of 2/13...


The Bengals have such a strong roster that they have the luxury of going BPA.

It's early, but Calvin Pryor would probably be my favorite pick if he's still on the board. Whenever I watched Louisville he stood out as a playmaker.

If Zack Martin is still there, he's a guy you could plug anywhere on the line in the short term and he could end as the heir apparent to Whitworth at either Guard or Tackle longterm (depending on the A Collins situation)

Marvin Jones had a nice year, but there are so many 1st rd caliber WRs that one too good to pass on could fall to 24. I'd strongly consider Marquis Lee if he were on the board


Just in general this is such a quality roster top to bottom I'd be happy if the Front Office pulls an Ozzie Newsome and drafts whatever player has the highest grade lands at 24

hey now, don't forget CBs can play Safety

 

[Cincyfan78]

I'd start with the CB from FLA>

 

[DanBengalfan]

someone drafted Gilbert for us in the SportsHoopla mock draft. someone ahead of us rated another CB ahead of Gilbert.

I guess it could happen.

they chose Roby:

Damn, they have Calvin Pryor going to the Jets with the 18th pick. Earl Thomas showed what a play-making safety could do for an elite Defense. I doubt he makes it to the 24th pick but if he does then he's go to be the pick.

You're all idiots. All of ya.

Carry on.
